2.A.1. Student Performance -- Ms. Sierra Lutz, Farmington High Senior, STEM Fair Project Winner
Presenter:
Mr. Tyson Grover, STEM Section Director
Description:
Ms. Lutz will give a presentation to the Board on her winning STEM Fair project. Her project, PCR Pandemonium: A Study of Thermophilic Bacteria DNA Polymerases and Their Application in PCR, examined the potential of bacteria collected from hot springs in the Utah-Idaho portion of the Great Basin Region to be used in the DNA amplification process of PCR. PCR is an extremely useful tool in many areas of research, including vaccine research, as it takes a very small sample of DNA and replicates it many times over, so there is a usable amount. A key component of PCR is DNA Polymerase, the protein that actually duplicates DNA. All cells contain a DNA Polymerase, but because PCR occurs at high temperatures a DNA Polymerase that can handle those temperatures is required. The industry standard Taq DNA Polymerase had never before been tested against other naturally occurring high-temperature polymerases. And she actually found a DNA Polymerase from a bacteria from south-central Utah that may outperform Taq.
Ms. Lutz' science teacher is Ms. Jana Barrow at Farmington High.

2.F.4. Administration Building HVAC Renovation Cm/Gc Selection (exhibit)
Presenter:
Mr. Craig Carter, Business Administrator
Description:
The Administration building heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system has lived beyond the District’s Maintenance Department ability to service. The system components and programming have been discontinued by the manufacturer which has made getting replacement parts very difficult. The system will be replaced with a new variable air system. This will involve re-working of the piping system above the ceilings in each office space. The existing, galvanized, domestic water lines will be replaced with copper piping at the same time. The District Professional Services Selection Committee evaluated proposals and fees from five different general contractors. The successful firm will work as a construction manager (Cm) to assist the design team with cost estimates, constructability reviews, and monitor the bid climate. A big portion of the project will be to schedule the construction work while minimizing the disruption to the departments in the building. Once plans are complete, the construction manager will change hats and become the general contractor (Gc) and will bid out the project to sub-contractors.
